Parting Words by Mayor.
In this connection Mayor G. W.
McCaskrln referred briefly to the
pleasant relations that existed be
tween the members of the council
and himself. Some of the most im
portant matters in the history of the
city had been considered, and intelli
gently so.. The aldermen had shown
devotion and sincerity in their work,
and they deserved the gratitude of
the entire city. They labored with
the single . view of . benefiting the
whole community, their slogan hav
lng been for a greater Rock Island
The council had handicaps, parties
larly that of finances, but it had
done . remarkably', well, despite its
lack of money to do business. This
had not interfered with the carry
ing forward of public improvements,
nor with other works incident to the
proper administration of - the affairs
of the city. ,
The mayor announced he- had re
turned the ordinance of the Tri-City
Railway company to the city clerk
with his signature attached, having
done so after he had secured from
the company, its agreement to amend
the ordinance, meeting the desires
of the mayor in reference to the la
bor arbitration clause and the Thirty-eighth
. street grading improve
ments The mayor stated that the
amendments to the ordinance would
be offered at the meeting of the
council next Monday evenlng?
Ncw Council Take Hold.
. On the reconvening of the coun
cil, there were brief remarks called
for from the. new members, the re
tiring aldermen having said their
farewells before the sine die adjourn
ment. Carl Naab. the new member
from the Second, was the favored
one in the floral display sent by his
friends, his desk having been piled
several feet high with huge bouquets
Also there were bouquets on the
desks of Arthur O. Huff, First; James
C. Simser, Third; George L. Schmid,
Fifth; John T. Stephens, Sixth and
John G. Leaf. Seventh.- The alder
men had remembered the mayor with
a spray of roses which had been
placed on his desk before the meet
ing. The members who retired from
the council were Frank Blochlinger,
First; John Carse, Second; Frank
Lawler. Sixth and T. J. Ellinwood,
Seventh.
The mayor announced that he
would name his standing committees
for the year at the meeting the com
ing Monday. At that time, he said,
he would have his inaugural message
ready also.
The city clerk suggested it would
be advisable, owing to the large
charge that had been made against
the anticipated revenues, to have the
annual appropriation ordinance con
sidered during the present week in
order that it might be passed at the
Monday evening meeting. In con
formity with this suggestion, the
council voted to meet Friday even
ing in committee of the whole to con
sider the appropriation ordinance.

BAD NEGRO SHOT
BY A BARTENDER
Roy Porter, Missourian, Carry
' ing a Bullet in His
Body.
STARTS TROUBLE AT BAR
John Buckaloo, Employe of 'Saloon,
Finally Exhausts Patience and
Fires Xo Prosecution.
Roy Porter, a negro hailing from
Missouri and known to only a few of
his 'race in this city was shot in the
neck last night by John Buckaloo, a
barkeeper in a saloon. at Jtfinth street
and ninth avenue ot which Joe Thom
as is proprietor. The shooting oc
curred after some trouble in the sa
loon which had caused4 the barkeeper
to order the negro out of the place.
The latter, who has served time in
Missouri, and has a reputation there
as a "bad nigger," was in an ugly
mood, and he gave the impression
that he was. going to shoot at the bar
keeper, buckaloo was arrested and
tried before the -police magistrate on
a charge of assault with latent to
commit murder, but the case against
him was dismissed after the evidence
had been heard. The trial took place
this morning.
LooklaaT foT Trouble.
"The negro had spent the greater part
of .the day at the saloon. He gave the
impression he was spoiling for trou
ble. During the afternoon he seated
himself at a card table, but ob
jected to the cards which were giveg
him, saying that they were cheap, and
that if they were the best the estab
lishment could afford he would buy
some . himself . The wife of the pro
prietor was tending bar and she ad
vised him that if be didn't like the
cards and the place he could get out
and go elsewhere. He continued
growl. After supper Buckaloo went
on duty behind the bar and trouble
soon started again. Porter and a col
ored friend walked up to the bar
and the friend asked for a drink which
was given him. Buckaloo then asked
Porter what he wanted and the negro
replkd, "You didn't hear me ask for
anything did you?" An argument start
ed which ended in Buckaloo ordering
the regro out of the saloon.
Regular Battle Starts.
Porter refused to go. Buckaloo
started after him with a bottle of or
ang3 cider, and 'porter left in a hur
ry. He stuck his head back in the
door and Buckaloo hurled a beer glass
at him. The negro inmates of the
place thereupon warned the barkeeper
to look out for Porter, as he was a bad
man and had already killed several
men. The bartender said he guessed
he would prepare to defend himself in
this ase and he got out a revolver
and laid it back of the bar where it
wouloSbe handy. Three different times
the negro poked his head in the door
and each time he was met with a beer
lass. Then suddenly he lumped clear
inside the door and put his hand be
hind him as though he was about to
draw a revolver. The barkeeper beat
him to it, however, and shot first,
whereupon Porter jumped out again
A minute later he appeared at a win
dow which he kicked in and again a
shot was fired at him, this time the
bullet taking effect, though apparently
not seriously.
Police Are Called.
The police were called and Officers
Frankhauser, Kinney and Furlong hur
ried to the 6cene of the trouble. After
learning what had happened, ther se
curd information from some of the
negroes as to the whereabouts of Por
ter, and Kinney and Furlong set out
to get him. They landed him without
much trouble, though he made threats
or chasing them into the river." At
the time he was caught he was staud
ing In front of a mirror in a house
on Eighth street, trying to extract the
bullet which had lodged in his neck
After being taken to the station, his
wound was dressed and an unsuccess
ful attempt made to locate the bullet,
Buckaloo la Releaaert.
A warrant was sworn out for the ar
rest of Buckaloo and he was brought
into the police station this morning
and arraigned before Police Magistrate
C. J. Smith. A number of the negroes
who were in the saloon at the time of
the shooting were called upon for tes
timony, as was also the saloonkeeper
and the defendant. The latter was
represented by C. J. Searle and H. M.
Schriver appeared for the state. It
was upon motion of the state that the
case against Buckaloo was dismissed.
There being no charge against tii,
negrj he was released al30 and fir-nish-Jd
with transportation to Clintn.
where he has relatives.
Thloka lie la Done For.'
Porter is of the opinion that the
shot which he "received will result Jn
his death. He refused to remain here
for further probing for the, bullet, as
he fa&id that it was useless and that
he wished to see his relatives in Clin
ton before the end comes. He claims
the bullet is in his left lun and that
he has only a short time to live. The
physician who attended him thinks
differently, however, and no objections
were raised to his leaving the city at
once.

W'mu Offered 910,000. "
Champaign, 111., May 3. Representa
tive Joseph Carter of Champaign coun
ty, yesterday declared that he had
been indirectly offered $10,000 by a
lobbyist to kill a bill, although he
though the matter was a joke, being a
newcomer in the legislature. Mr. Car
ter y ithheld the name of the man who
made the proposition'. Representative
Carter is a retired superintendent of
schools and a man of. high standing
not given to sensational utterances. He
said:
"I have no doubt that Representative
White's story Is true, or in the main
true. Of course some of it may bt
false or misconceptious. Why, the
matter did not -appear so much of a
secret. It was openly talked about
in terms which did not say that such
& person got such a sum of money, but
that money was coming and going out
of certain bills that were pending.
How It Waa Offered.
"One day a member remarked 'Car
ter, ; you were offered $10,000 to help
put through a pending bill.' I laughed
and told him that was nonsense. Then
he recalled the fact that a lobbyist
had told me he would give $10,000 to
Tiave a certain bill killed. I recalled
that the lobbyist had made the remark
very innocently, as I thought. My
fellow member said 'Carter, you are
green. You wouldn't know a bribe if
you met it in an elevator.' '

from Galesburg and help us win our
strike for better conditions."
